Railroad Buying Commences
in Northwest.

Lumber business In sight from rail
roads, large eastern Industrial centers
nd the' orient Is sufficient to call
for full producing strength for the
sawmills and logging camps of the
northwest during the early months
of the new year, according to lumber
officials who keep In touch with the
trade situation
Orders today are exceeding actual
production in all points of the Pacific
coast and the lumber in stock In the
various yards is being rapidly de
plcted.
Railroads Begin Baylnnr.
One sign of coming prosjferitjr for
lumber manufacturers Is that
railroads are starting to buy. Under
normal conditions such as existed
prior to the war, the railroads could
be counted on to purchase practically
40 per cent of the output of the mills
of the northwest. Government control
shut off this avenue of sale, and the
war disturbed building conditions.
The only big market was found in
the orient, and upon this trade,
which came principally from Japan,
the mills depended.
LiOgs are scarce and stocks are
badly broken at most points, accord
ing to a statement i.isuei' by the Loyal
Legion of Lumbermen and Loggers.
It also was pointed out that there
will undoubtedly be a strengthening
In prices for 1922 due to the fact that
there will be both a decrease in sup
ply and an increase in demand.
Orleatal Ordera Expected.
Today the drag on the lumber mar
ket is low-grade lumber. Indications
are that this condition will be re
lieved in the near future through or
ders from the east. . Manufacturing
industries being revived in the east
call for large volumes of low-grade
lumber for boxing and crating. Most
of this lumber will probably go by
water through the Panama canal to
the new lumber terminal of the port
of Boston.
During the year which has ended all
of the associations of the lumber in
dustry have received ordera in ex
cess of their cut. The orders of the
Southern Pine association for 50
weeks exceeded the cut of the same
period by 4 per cent, but the cat was
ii per cent short of normal.
Orders Exceed Cut.
The West Coast Lumbermen's as
sociation lacked 49 per cent of ita
normal cut, but orders were 4 per cent
in excess of the produce of the 60
week period. The Western Pine Man
ufacturers' association during a pe
riod of 60 weeks fell123 per cent
short of a normal cut, but demands
werj 3 per cent in excess of the lum
ber produced.

bureau of lumber economics shows

The week ending December 21 the
Western Pine Manufacturers' asso
ciation, composed of 46 mills, reported
the total of orders on hand at 2533
cars. There were received In addi
tion to this, orders for 698 cars. Dur
ing the week 691 cars of a total of
17,275.000 feet were shipped.' The
shipments above production for the
veek were 8,024,000 and the orders
above production were 6,186,000 feet.
Members of the West Coast Lum
bermen's association were encour
aged by the reports for the week end
ing December 24. Th orders re
ceived were far in excess of produc
tion, but at that fell short of being
up to normal. The actual production
was 34.13 per cent below normal and
was 27.92 per pent short of the orders
received.
Lumbermen throughout the north
west have been looking forward to
the opening of the new year with ex
pectations of a revival of business
that .will bring the milling Industry
back to normal. The decreased rail
road rates on lumber have had some
effect on eastern sources of demand
and large shipments for domestic
trae are expected early in the year.
Domex tic Shipments Large.-
During the week ending December
24 the West Coast Lumbermen's as
sociation mills shipped 1089 cars of
lumber for domestic use. There were
on hand at this tle unshipped or
ders to the extent of 3902 cars.
The export trade continues steadly
with Japan using most of the lumber
that goesMo the orent.
End of the year statements, from
lumber manufacturers throughout the
ftorthwest indicate as a .whole that
file outlook in the lumber industry is
distinctly encouraging, according to
Information given out yesterday by
W. C. Kuegnitz, executive secretary
of the Loyal Legion of Loggers and
Lumbermen.'. The sawmills in the
various districts are entering 1922
with reduced log and lumber stocks,
whereas they came Into 1921 with a
surplus of both, he declared,
Stork Is Depleted.
"This condition is the, result chiefly
ef the oriental and Atlantic coast buy
ing of the latter part of 1921 together
with the curtailment of log and lum
ber production caused by bad weather
conditions in November and Decem
ber." his statemen. declared. "One
Grays Harbor mill, for example, a
year ago had on hand 8(5,00(1,000 feet
oi, lumber, while Its inventory at this
time shows less than 12.000.0X10 feet."
,A possible factor which must be
taken into account, according-to man
ufacturers, is th fact that much buy
ing has been held back for the re
duced freight rates which became ef
fective December 24, throwing a large
volume of business on the market in a
brief interval. This ordinarily would
be spread over a much longer period.
Such a condition might temporarily
have raised ths market temperature
above, normal.
Fir Prices' Kialna;.
Mr. -Ruegnltz was advised that fir
upper grade which a month ago aver
aged between $18 and $19, now aver
ages close to $21. Last July the same
grades reached the lowest figure since
1918 with a price of $16.50 average.
The reduced rail rates of December
24 were declared to be a new factor of
strength in the fir market. F ex

Water Route Cheaper.
It was not thought that much lum
ber will be diverted from -water to

still leave a difference of approxi

route on rough green lumber, which
forms a large proportion of the boat
shipments. "-
Ked cedar shingles snouia Deneiu
by the new freight rates, as they do
not meet with much competition in

duced freight probably will bring

reach. The loyal legioa headquarters

west shingle mills, now closed, which
are clearing ahe decks for action in
anticipation of an aroused shingle
market.

Admiral Liner Montague Is First
Steamer to Arrive This Year
From Foreign Shores. -
The last of the old and the first of
the new are blended in a timely man
ner in the arrival yesterday of the
Admiral line steamer Montague, which
came from the Orient and blocked at 6
o'clock last night at municipal ter
minal N4. 4. She is the last regular
caller here in the Pacific Steamship
company's trans-Pacific service out
of the Columbia river and is the .first
vessel to come here this year with
freight from foreign shores.
The principal item in the inward
manifest of the Montague is a ship
ment of 2000 tons of copra in bulk to
the Portland Vegetable Oil Milte
company. She also has 540 tons of
cocoanut oil in bulk in her fuel tanks,
and this is the first shipment of Ori
ental vegetable oil to come here in
many months. .The oil will be pumped
Into the storage tanks at terminal
No. 4 and the vessel will then shift
to the
dock of the Portland Vegetable I
ills company, where the new
Oil M
pneumatrc device at this plant for
removing copra from a vessel's hold
will be utilized for the first time.
The copra and oil brought by the
Montague was loaded at Manila and
other points in the Philippine islands.
Other cargo aboard the vessel includ
ed 250 bales of hemp and miscel
laneous Oriental plunder from vari
ous ports of Japan and China.
Though the service of the Admiral
line between the Columbia river and
the Orient terminates officially wJth
the arrival of the Montague, another
steamer of this line is routed this
way and will be due about January
17. This one is the Edmore, a ship
ping board freighter operating regu
larly between Puget Sound and the
Orient. She is bringing about 6000
tons of copra from Manila to Port
land. RIVER NAVIGATION HAMPERED
Streaks of Fog and Wet Snow Are
Menace In Lower Columbia.
Alternate streaks of fog and wet
snow in the lower Columbia river in
terfered with navigation of vessels
to such an extent yesterday that the
steamer Baja California was 24 hours
on a passage from Astoria to St.
Helens, and was still on her way up
the river early last night. Her im
mediate destination was the dock of
the Portland Flouring Mills company
The Baja California left up from As
toria at 2:15 P. M., Sunday, and did
not pass St. Helens until 2:30 P. M.,
yesterday.
- The Baja California is a Norwegian
steamer In the service of the Latin
America line and is here to load for
Mexico, Central America, Colombia
and Ecuador. Her agent here Is the
Northwest Shipping company, of
which A. C. StufTbe i manager.
FRENCH SHIP IN COLUMBIA
Mississippi 'Will Be First to Arrive
Here In New Service.
The French "steamer Mississippi
crossed into the Columbia river at 2
o'cljock yesterday afternoon, accord
ing to the report telephoned to the
Merchants' Exchange, and was ex-
pected to leave up from Astoria at
about 6 o'clock last night. Her first
loading berth here will be the Kerr-
Gifford Albina dock.
The Mississippi is the first steamer
of the French line (Societe Generate
Transatlantlque) to come to this port
in a new service between Pafic coast
ports and Kurope recently inaugurat
ed by this company. She will be han
dled here by the General Steamship
corporation. " '
Cnracao Makes Farewell Call.
The Ad-mlral line steamer Curacao
arrived in the Columbia rTvej yester
day for the last time under the pres
ent plans of her owners, the Pacific
Steamship company, and was expected
at municipal terminal No. 2 late last
night. On her next trip north from
San Francisco she will go to Seattle
and operate thereafter in a triangular
run touching at Seattle, Vancouver.
B. C, and San Francisco. Her place
In the .Portland-Coos Bay-Eureka-San

cent over the year 1920, an increase
of 52 per cent over 1919, an increase

of 346 per cent over 1918 an were
ten times as great as those of 1917
showing an increase in the neighbor

The exact official total for the value
of the exports from the Oregon cus
toms district In 1921 will be an
nounced about January 15 by the
bureau of statistics in Washington,
D. C. In the meanwhile the total ex
ports of the district for 11 months,
plus the exports from Portland for
December gives 467,700,990. For the
calendar year 1920 the official valu
ation of all exports from the Oregon
district is $61, 4JS, 974.
Articles Values Decreaae. j
This gain during the past year has
been made in spite of an Important
decrease in the value of every article
and commodity exported, and in the
face of serious losdea in export busi
ness by every other seaboard customs
district At the United States.
How exports from this district have

Estimate Made on Alaska Mineral
Production During 102 1.
WASHINGTOX. D. . Jan. !.
Alaska's mineral production during
1921, according1 to preliminary esti
mates made public today by the geo
logical survey, was valued at 1H.
109,000, compared with -3.303.7.",7
during the previous year. Tlie de
crease shown is accounted for Ijy a
loss of about Jti.OHO.'MiO in the value
of copper mined, Ji73.(0 loss in sil
ver, $100,000 In lead, M55.O00 in plat
inum and $120,000 in petroleum. An
increase of about $1.15. OHO was show n
In the production of coal.
The practical completion of the
Alaska railroad, the report said, was
the most Important event of the year
to the territory mining industry. The
decrease In both cupper production
and development w!hj ascribed to the
low prifte of the metal.
